Sivaram was born in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu on 4 November 1946. [5] His early college studies were at Madras Christian College from where he passed the graduate degree (BSc) in chemistry in 1965 after which he secured his master's degree (MSc) from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur in 1967. [2] Moving to the US, he did his doctoral research under Nobel Laureate Herbert C. Brown at Purdue University and secured his doctorate (PhD) in 1972. [3] He continued in the US for two more years and worked as a research associate at the Institute of Polymer Science of the University of Akron, Ohio. He returned to India in 1973 and joined the Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Limited (IPCL), Baroda as a research scientist where he worked in various capacities such as research manager and deputy general manager till 1988, when he moved to the National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) as the Head of the Department of Polymer Chemistry. In 2002, he was promoted as the director of the institution and worked there till his superannuation in 2010. [5]

Sivaram has served as visiting faculty at many universities in India and abroad. [5] He was a visiting scientist at the Blaise Pascal University in 1991 during September–October. In 1993–94, he was involved with the Institute of Chemical Technology as the K. S. S.

During his US days, Sivaram was associated with Herbert C. Brown and J. P. Kennedy and worked on alkylation of tertiary alkyl halides with trialkylaluminum. His researches along with Kennedy is reported to have assisted in widening the knowledge base on the mechanism of carbocationic polymerization and led to the latter-day techniques of controlled and living carbocationic polymerization. [2] His researches have also helped in creating new properties in polymers and threw more light on the synthesis, structure and properties of polymeric materials. [6] He has also worked on polymer-layered clay nanocomposites and has been successful in synthesizing several organic modifiers for clay for the preparation of exfoliated nanocomposite of clay. [6] The team led by him at the National Chemical Laboratory conducted research on olefin polymerization using Ziegler Natta catalysts which opened a new school of research in the topic. [2] His researches are recorded in over 200 articles published in peer reviewed journals; ResearchGate, an online knowledge repository, has listed 225 of them. [7] He is the author of Living Anionic Polymerization of Methyl Methacrylate, a book detailing his research on Living anionic polymerization. [8] He has also edited two books, Polymer Science, (2 Volumes) [9] [10] and Macromolecular Symposia, Volume 240. [11] Some of his articles have also been compiled as a book, Chemical vapor deposition: thermal and plasma deposition of electronic materials. [12] He is the holder of approximately 100 patents of which 50 are approved in the US. [2] [13] [14] He is known to be the holder of the highest number of US patents by an Indian-based outside the US [3] and many of his inventions have been put to commercial use in India and abroad. He has also guided 36 students in their doctoral researches. [2]

Sivaram's efforts are known in the establishment of the first R&D centre on petrochemical research in India at NCL and transforming the organization into a centre for interdisciplinary research. [2] He is the founder of the NCL Innovation Park and the Technology-Business Incubator under the aegis of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), a first time in India. [2] He was involved in the establishment of Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research (IISER) and served as the project director during formation of IISER Pune, in 2006. [2] He is the founder chairman Venture Center (Entrepreneurship Development Center), a not-for-profit initiative by the National Chemical Laboratory for promoting technology and knowledge-based enterprises for India, and sits on its board of directors.
